The Legacy Baseball League: An Alternate Baseball History (Plenty of Franchises available!) - Page 3

Opening Day 1903 has come and gone. Catch the Opening Day broadcast here: https://twitch.tv/ootp_lbl

We have one opening at the moment: Chicago Packers

The Packers are among the more intimidating teams in the LBL with their blue-collar fans, employed in Chicago's booming meatpacking industry, frequently attending games wearing blood-stained aprons. Unlike their crosstown rivals--who are devoted to celebrating the beautiful aspects of baseball--the Packers are happy to get down in the slop and win dirty. They have a potential star up-the-middle in 2B Murphy Ridge and two of the best bats in the LBL in 1B Gary Johnson and LF Jamie Tew. SP Leopoldo Polk could also soon count himself among the LBL's very best. The Packers need a steadyhand to fill out the remainder of the roster and to avoid the ire of their dangerous fanbase

Michael Dunleavy of the Pittsburgh Oilers takes time away from his studies, his ogling of all things Phillies, and hitting on that cute girl in the university library to sit down with host Doug Olmsted.

MICHAEL DUNLEAVY -- PITTSBURGH OILERS

We have two openings at the moment: EL New York Kings and WL Chicago Packers.

Owned by the loathsome Alexander Bingley, the embodiment of the term "robber baron," the Kings of New York having a pitching staff anchored by one of the best young pitchers in the LBL, Eduardo Chell, and the best pitching prospect in the LBL, Palmer Florey. The Kings are looking for a ruthless GM to match their owner's ferocity--someone driven to bend the LBL to his or her will.

We have just passed after the one year anniversary of our league. We have had a great time over the last year and appreciate all of the interest and the great GMs that have joined along the way.

When we started this, we were not sure anyone would join, but, to our great surprise, we are currently full.

If you would be interested in being added to our waitlist, please submit an application on our website.

Thank you again to the OOTP community for supporting this passion project of ours.

The PROVIDENCE ANGELS are now available for prospective GMs to apply!

The life work of sporting enthusiast and Superior Court Judge Jacob Cartwright, the Providence Angels are a successful and strait-laced ballclub who play in the scenic center of Roger Williams Park on “Angel Island.”

A successful lawyer, respected judge and soft-spoken Roman Catholic deacon, Jacob Cartwright purchased the center of Roger Williams Park in 1893 to build a “holy, disciplined, and transcendent” baseball club. Originally formed from Judge Cartwright’s highly competitive diocesan club, the Angels were opened to non-Catholics in 1895 to comply with LBL mandates.

Likely the most rigid team in the Legacy Baseball League, Angels players are held to “Cartwright’s Canons,” a handbook of strict protocols, courtesies, and exercises written in the fashion of a Liturgy of the Hours. “Non-Catholic brethren are welcome to participate in the organization,” the introduction of Cartwright’s Canons reads, “just as our Savior Jesus Christ healed the gentiles and shared a well with the harlots.”

Players are fined for failure to shave, unkempt hair, cursing, rudeness, impiety, drunkenness, and failure to observe the sabbath.

Judge Cartwright’s no-nonsense franchise is often seen as the complete foil to Father Thomas Carlow’s rowdy Baltimore club. Archdiocesan gatherings between Baltimore and Rhode Island clergy are less than warm during the baseball season, with the respective Archbishops famously devoting pre-series homilies and Prayers of the Faithful to their respective teams.

The Angels currently own a hard-hitting lineup that could easily be reformed into an Eastern League contender.

A 3-time Ivy Division champion, Cartwright’s Angels are looking to win their first Eastern League Championship.
